A review by caitlinxreads
Insanity by Cameron Jace
2.0
I had high hopes for this novel even after seeing some not so good reviews. I was not impressed.
First off, I know that this was self-published, but come on. The title at the top of the pages of the novel said Pentimento, not Insanity like it should have. There were so many grammar mistakes as well. Also, the formatting changed multiple times. Some chapter headings were centered, some on the left. Some of the text was double-spaced, some single. On the opening page, it states that this book had an editor. Clearly, they didn't do their job correctly.
On to the actual novel. I wanted a Melanie Martinez level of madness and darkness. This was so confusing (not in a good way) that I just wanted to quit reading. I kept going only because this is short. Had this been even 50 pages longer and I would have given up.
I admire all the research that went into this novel (I learned a ton about Lewis Carroll), but it just wasn't that good.
I have seen that a lot of reviewers love this, I just don't.
